"Sari Therapeutic Riding"

Therapeutic Horseback Riding

World of horses / Nancy D. Brown

I never tire of this. It’s the end of the season and, after this week, the horses get a much deserved break at SARI therapeutic riding in Arva, just north of London, Ontario. My daughter, 10, is on her horse Vixen, rounding the corners of the outdoor ring, doing two point. Basically she’s squeezing her […]

Molokai Stampede

Horse Ranches & Equestrian Centers / Nancy D. Brown

It was on a horseback riding vacation in Lanai, Hawaii that I first learned of the Molokai Stampede. My Lanai riding guide, Cody Bradford, was wearing beautiful custom-made western chaps tanned from the hides of axis deer, unique to the Hawaiian islands of Lanai and Molokai. In his office I spied a hand tooled leather

Molokai, Hawaii Mule Ride

6 Comments / Hawaii, Horse Ranches & Equestrian Centers / Nancy D. Brown

Kalaupapa Rare Adventure Mule Ride, Molokai, Hawaii I’d seen the bumper sticker, “Wouldn’t You Rather Be Riding a Mule in Molokai?” I’d yet to ride a mule and I hadn’t been to Molokai. On a recent trip to Molokai, Hawaii, I was able to cross these two items off my “must do” travel list. Whether

Horse Rescue, North Carolina Style

Horse News, North Carolina / Nancy D. Brown

Daisy Mae came into my life in late fall of 2011. My husband and I were in Southwestern North Carolina working on a log home we were building in Hayesville, near Murphy. The development sits back off Hwy 64 and we would drive up and down this road several times a day. It is truly

Reining: Understanding the Sport

Equestrian Photography, Reviews / Nancy D. Brown

Understanding the Equestrian Sport of Reining About 10 years ago my husband and I were introduced to the sport of Reining. We did not know what reining was and had never even seen a horse perform a pattern. We were immediately hooked and we are still showing today. It’s a lot of fun filled with

What Makes a Good Cutting Horse?

Horse News, World of horses / Nancy D. Brown

I have absolutely no business writing a blog post on what makes a good cutting horse. In fact, I have never ridden a cutting horse. In my youth I put a cow in the stall with my Quarter Horse to see if he had any “cow sense” as in would he dominate the cow and

Horseback Riding Washington’s Yakima Valley

2 Comments / California, Equestrian Lodging / Nancy D. Brown

One of my favorite things about horseback riding while on vacation is that it allows me to see new and varied landscapes from the back of a horse, covering more ground than I would on foot (and more pleasurably than by car). In Washington’s Yakima Valley, there’s an added benefit: while enjoying the view and

Horseback Riding on the Beach

2 Comments / Equestrian Photography, Reviews / Nancy D. Brown

I’ve talked about the lack of beach riding access for equestrians previously on Writing Horseback. Not only are horse owners and ranch riders finding it more difficult to go horseback riding at public stables, the idea of riding horses on the beach is typically left to countries outside of the United States. Instead, our open

5 Photos Riding Horseback

Equestrian Photography / Nancy D. Brown

More “between the ears” photos while riding horseback during my travels around the world. I’m often quoted saying “nothing is better than seeing the world from the back of a horse.” For over five years I’ve been traveling the globe while riding horseback, combining my passion for travel with my love of horses. Below are
